During its over 150 year history, over 100 communities have dotted the landscape of Hunt County. Sometimes, these communities were no more than a school, a general store, and a few houses. Sometimes, they were thriving railroad communities. Some still survive today. Others died long ago; some in a rush of fire and some for reasons we still do not understand. As time permits, each community will link to a page with more information about it, as well as surnames being researched from that area.
